Wow!!!! This was such an amazing ride by this extremely talented horse and rider team. Brilliant! ❤
That girl can ride!!! Never ceases to amaze me how she brings out the absolute best in the horse. She deserves all the accolades that she gets!
The pat on the neck after the tempi's. Golden.
Dujardin does that so often, it's always amazing to see!
Charlotte Dujardin is always flawless omg LOVE IT
I believe this combination might end up being better than her and Valegro. And it’s not because Imhotep is necessarily a better horse. As fantastic of a rider as she was back then with Valegro, she’s a lot better now. She has more experience and went the right way with it. This is the most kind and sympathetic riding that you will ever see. She may just be the best dressage rider ever now. Bravo to her and bravo to Carl as well for producing this rider and all these wonderful horses.
And I’m saying this without even being British.
I do agree. I loved watching her on Valegro, but as a rider she has become really much more better along those year. I do not like though statements like the best ever, there have been wonderful riders in the past, there are a lot of amazing riders nowadays and who knows about the future. Also, for this sport especially rider and horse have to develop together. If a horse reaches limits, the best rider can not overcome them. The same is with a good horse, just put a bad and brutal rider on it and the horse suffers and might go into decline. I am so happy for all the good riders currently, who are so very considerate for the well being of their horses and are not afraid to mention it. Of course the trainer deserves very, very much great praise. I have seen him on difficult horses and I am sure he would be very capable to ride Imothep equally well.
I agree. love love love watching valegro and her but she’s become much better through the years. not gonna say best ever as there have been many wonderful riders and there are to do but who knows. especially for this sport the combination has to grow together. if a horse reaches their limit, not the best rider can get them to go further. same with a good horse but a bad or abusive rider. the horse suffers, and declines. so happy for the good riders tdy, considerate for their horse’s well being and not afraid to bring it up. trainer deserves much praise too, i’ve seen him on some difficult horses and he could ride pete just as well im sure
This is just art!!
OMG, Pete looks so strong and balanced now. Congrats to this amazing test, Charlotte. 🎉
YESSSSSSS 🎉🎉🎉 MY FAV TEAM ❤
Awesome Charlotte, Lottie, Carl & Gareth - so totally deserved! All brilliant tests! ❤🌹🥰
Team has 4 riders! Gareth Hughes shouldn't be forgotten.
@@carolinegatrell8871 yes of course!
4 riders !! hughes is forgotten smmm!
Such an amazing test and good to see some top class riding .and good luck all .
Absolutely gorgeous!
Is it fashion in England the high and short necks? I prefer the neck of Valegro.
I agree lol, Imhotep and Fame have quite odd conformation imo.
Looks so forced and uncomfortable. Can't do the horse's back any good to have his head held in a vice.
@@pixie706She's holding him on her seat and between the hands which she frequently yields. I'm often very critical of competitive dressage but on this occasion I see harmony. He's a beautiful ball of bouncing energy and she appears to control him effortlessly which says it all. A highly accomplished rider.
I agree, him and fame have odd conformation imo.
A wonderful performance! I was a bit worried about the piaffe. That might have been an issue due to balancing the weight of rider and horse together . The laws of Physics teach us -like with down hill skiing- if your center of gravity is always in the middle of the line between your two legs and your weight is evenly distributed, that you will never fall. But, as soon as you shift the distribution of your weight between right and left leg, your muscles will have to adapt and compensate for the weight shift, so that you do not topple over. It becomes more complex, if you have four legs like horses. In the case of this piaffe performances I wachted the muscles of the hindlegs moving beautifully and strong but head and neck were so closed so that in order to avoid to loose balance the front legs had to come closer to the hindlegs. I was wondering how a horse with a longer back or a wider (more open) neck would have managed. And please, do not be offended by my possibly stupid comment. I am not an expert but I truly enjoy studying movements of horses with an without a rider on top of it to gain a better understanding which ones are still correct, healthy and right or possibly damaging and wrong.
Cheers from Germany
He is not that experienced yet, has time to build more muscle and gain the final bits of strength he needs. Charlotte has said she hasn't let the hand brake off yet. One more year and the sky is the limit.
@@jonjonwp Certainly, I can understand that. It requires not only concentration, but also so much strength to perform these exercises while it takes years to build the muscles and fine tune movements.
he isn’t seasoned yet and has to gain strength and muscle. one yr and the sky’s the limit.
Truely Amazing 🇺🇸❤
Beautiful piaffe, so rarely see it done so well by a horse that is not Iberian. As for the commentator saying it’s too base narrow; rubbish, is putting it politely.! That is what it looks like when it’s done correctly from a horse with great construction and great trainers.
She also forgets to point out that Imhotep hasn't got all the strength and muscle yet. Only way is up for this combination.
I agree! A narrow base?? How about applauding her for getting the horse to collect. "The aim of piaffe is to demonstrate the highest degree of collection while giving the impression of remaining in place". To me, she's nailed it.
The front leg is back instead of being perpendicular ... so closer to the hind leg eg this makes it a narrow base? ... that maybe what the commentator is referring to via the term narrow base. Theres so much to love about the test and that piaffe however the commentator was fair
I agree, I got tired of her criticizing that.
@@sfponies1165 Yes, exactly, she's definitely correct for pointing that out.
wundervolle Performance❤
Were, were beautifully ❤
Incredible ❤
Thank God some competitive dressage riders know how to ride. I watched, I think it was a Dutch bird, the other day and I thought I was watching a wrestling competition. What was really depressing were the comments calling it an amazing performance.
Absolutely fantastic ride on her new champion ❤😅
I loved this ride. I the cadence and range at 1/2 pass fantastic. The even lift in piaffe and expression in passage. Then the tightness of spiral in pirouette, terrific. Announcer seems to always have something negative to say. I mute her
She's simply explaining what the judges look for... doing her job. She's a dressage rider as well, you know. I enjoy her insights.
I watch on mute. I don't want to be influenced by someone when I'm trying to be objective. I do, however, enjoy reading the comments afterwards.
she explains what the judges look for and doing her job. she’s also a dressage rider, I really enjoy her thoughts
Would love to see him more relaxed.
That means he would be dead.
I totally agree!!!
@@susanneprei5818Where do you see the tension?
@@sarahwagland1559 Please see below, I tried to explain what I observed watching the CZcams video. It might be different, if you see the riding live at the event and close by.
then he’d be dead
Wow!! that gave me goosebumps ❤🎉
loved that 5:21
Ich finde ihn ein wenig zu eng eingestellt
Why do I not like it? The horse is not light. Its weight pulls down and is very much shortened instead of real upwards. This should not be the case at this level.
Who do you think is riding correctly at this level?
nobody rides correctly at this level
OMG FLICKA MUSIC 😭
10's for Pirouettes, beautifully engaged Piaffe. Shifting weight to the hind end, as it should be. I'm confused about the "narrow base" in the Paffe. Seems to me that's a result of the legs coming under to lift the horse.
It was narrow at the base! OPEN YOUR EYES!
When forelegs is under like this, it reveals that the horse is very forehanded. And when the neck is overbended like this the horse is stucked in bad movings. VERY unhealthy. The open mouth reveals that the horse has huge problems.
The narrow base she's talking about is the way that his front legs are not perpendicular to the ground, instead they're coming back underneath him. When that happens, it means that the horse isn't fully shifting the weight back to the haunches!
Four 9’s, one 8.5 and two 8’s for the piaffe from the judges.@@oogabooga5207
Yes narrow at the base BUT the judges were still awarding 8’s, 8.5’s and 9’s - so consequently well executed piaffes.@@feraforestno88o57
Wauw he can bounce on his legs ❤
Losgelassen? Oder perfekt durchgedrückt?
Wonderful ride, commentator constantly saying narrow at the base, almost perfect ride and very well balanced ❤❤
Commentator is best turned off...absolute pain
It was narrow at the base! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
So what the judges were still awarding Imhotep 8’s and 9’s for his piaffe.@@feraforestno88o57
best turned off. a pain
Don't forget team has 4 riders!
Dujardin come to save the day! Providing a great role model for younger riders - showing them how to overbend their horses, tighten their nosebands so their mouth foams up desirably rather than gaping unattractively (although she could probably work on this as I can see straight through Fry's mouth at 3.16! Whoops!), goat on the hill piaffes with that characteristic jerky movement of a horse that knows he'll get a spur to the ribs if he doesn't perform - just fantastic and the epitome of modern dressage.
Absolutely love how this horse's hind legs never come close to tracking up, how his mouth is so distressed that spittle lands on his chest, his completely atrophied intra and supraspinatus muscles, the way his nose nearly touches his chest at 5.39 as he hauls his crippled body into a pirouette and the way his eye never once softens, not even when he's finally given his head.
Well, analyzing your comments and trying to understand it, it means we would have to abolish dressage and may be most of the other equestrian sports.
The sarcasm and negativity doesn’t suit you at all.
You clearly don’t know anything about dressage because all of what you just said is false!!
analyzing and trying to understand your comment, we’d have to ban dressage and most equestrian sports
I just wish he wouldn't be so short in the neck and not bounce the croup up and down in the piaffe.
Beautiful ride. I really wish the commentator would hold her tongue about 30% more than she does. Her constant micro-criticisms are an annoying distraction from the beauty of it all. Someone please talk to her! If she could spare us 30% of the negative thoughts running through her head she could possibly work her way up to a higher mark. I give her commentary a 4.7
Agree, totally spoilt some great riding. Just alot of needless, critical chat. Apparently its not OK to criticise because she is herself an advanced rider...just wish she'd stick to that. Unfortunately someone must think she's a good commentator and she's been covering alot of the Dressage - at least she is consistent in her dreadful style.
agreed, spoiled this great riding. needless and critical chatting. “not ok to criticize bc she’s an advanced rider herself”? maybe she should stick to that. unfortunately some do enjoy, as she commentates a lot.- always dreadfully the same
Where the FK do I see CD's Freestyle ???????????????????????????????????????????????????
Frey is the best
Charlotte Dujardin scored 82.422 % Lottie Fry behind at 81.258%.
charlotte scored higher
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That piaffe hurts to watch with front legs far under body. Hopefully Imhotep won't follow Freestyle steps and end up lame.
Freestyle isn't lame... she's just back with her owner and not being ridden by Charlotte anymore. She even competes still.
Freestyle isn’t lame. She’s now owned and ridden by Cathrine Dufour. She recently posted a score of 81.20 for Grand Prix /81.40 GPS ( December 2023) Charlotte Dujardin trained “Mrs Valegro”.
freestyles don’t cause lameness.. he competes still without charlotte
How do these poor horses breathe with their heads so pulled in . Its such an unnatural position for a horse to be in.
Well, they're not exactly keeling over now, are they? So perhaps you need to re-examine your thinking.
He's actually not behind the vertical for most of this test, so take this comment elsewhere please!
@@oogabooga5207Strongly agree! People like these need to check their own riding before commenting on others it is just horrible to see their silly judgment
Fashion
Have you never seen your horses cavorting in the field like intense bouncing balls of power, necks rounded, heads held high, prancing around like their legs are springs? I have. This is simply harnessing the horse's natural ability. It takes great skill to achieve. But that's not to say that there isn't a great deal of ignorance and abuse in the sport. Most competitive dressage looks like wrestling to me but this was a pleasure to watch.
The English judge consistently marked the English riders three to four percent more, favouritism is not welcome and is cheating.
This ride is stiff and choppy, losing energy. He's cranked. Constant moving, grimacing with Pete's lips. It doesn't look comfortable. It looks forced.
The only nice section was the extended walk. That tells you something.
the only nice section is the extended walk and that’s saying smth
Can’t understand what the male commentator is doing here. He has no knowledge of horses or dressage, just keeps interrupting and banging on about previous scores and rankings. He needs sacking.
You weren't listening. I enjoyed his comments.
@@jonjonwp No, dear. You are the deaf one.
you clearly didn’t listen, I enjoyed his commentary
